Benny began brainstorming solutions with his colleagues: what if the sides already were attached to the back when the wardrobe is delivered – so it can be mounted upright and in the right place from the beginning. The team’s solution was an innovative hinge which makes it possible to put the pieces together in the production. “Once home, you open your wardrobe like a book and click everything in place. The beauty is that you just as easily can click the frame apart if you have to move the wardrobe.”

Reviews
Fantastic wardrobes as usualAnonymous reviewerGreat wardrobes.
We got the Pax/Storklinta wardrobes and they look and feel amazing - in particular they look really sleek and expensive. The soft-close is a lovely touch, and we also upgraded to add the lighting which I would HIGHLY recommend.
I have never had this before but would now never go without - it is instantaneous and looks so professional. It's also amazing how much of a difference it makes when comparing to using a different wardrobe we have which now feels dark and dingy.
Cons: They are very tricky to pin together/level by yourself. Even a master Ikea DIY-er can struggle to move and adjust them alone and it's a bit of a time commitment to put a couple of them up.
Also it's pretty easy to accidentally scratch the paint/veneer off while putting them up which is a shame.
Ultimately though, for the price you are getting amazing value for money and a great set of wardrobes.
I definitely recommend 'design your own'.
Looking greatAnonymous reviewerEasy to fix the more you do. All screws and bolts etc seem to work perfectly
pax wardrobeAnonymous reviewerhow how they used to make them. it seems flimsy but it looks good. I just hope in time it doesnt bend
Poor qualityAnonymous reviewerReally thin veneer. Will scratch if you look at it the wrong way. The bottom supports are so flimsy. Brought two units. Three of the four base supports broke during construction. Brought these as a permanent fixture for my bedroom. Doubt they will last more than a couple of years. The female bolt threads for the adjusting feet just don't stay in place. Thought pax was the premium Ikea wardrobe product. Not premium in any way. Cheap and nasty. Both units were slightly different colours.
Terrible qualityAnonymous reviewerUse to love the pax wardrobe system but the new screw less system is terrible. Just hope you don’t have to move the wardrobe because it doesn’t stay together very well and the laminate and chip board split easily. The old system of attaching the back board last was much better because the frame was locked together. This all joined system only takes a slight knock and the back board breaks away. Disappointed.
Solid optionAnonymous reviewerPerfect alternative to custom built in wardrobes.
Just what I neededAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble. Clear instructions.
Poor qualityAnonymous reviewerHad to get replacement panels after one was damaged on delivery. Now after about 6 months draw hinges have failed. Wood quality seems to be an issue, very brittle and fails easily. Can't imagine it would survive a disassembly for moving.
100cm wide too flimsyAnonymous reviewerHad only built 50cm wide Pax in the past but bought two 100cm wide x 236cm tall this time and regret it. The frame is too big to have any structural integrity. We had to use the backboard to keep the entire thing square and the backboard itself is far too flimsy. Any slight push from a hanger or clothing on the inside makes the back flex and has popped off in places. The big frames desperately need a cross brace at the back.
Very poor qualityAnonymous reviewerI was under no illusions these would be good quality but they were worse than expected. Very flimsy structure, cheap fittings that break easily, veneer on top of chipboard is wafer thin and splits very easily (better cross your fingers you don’t need to unscrew anything as will leave visible damage).
FlimsyAnonymous reviewerWas so flimsy. Backboard came away from. Returned.
PaxAnonymous reviewerGreat quality easy to assemble

Great packageAnonymous reviewerAll goes together so easily
EasyAnonymous reviewerSuper easy to assemble and beautiful colour 10/10
Pax wardrobeAnonymous reviewerWas easy to put together. The supporting feet do NOT stay in though so pretty pointless.
Flimsy and not worth itAnonymous reviewerThe frame is incredibly flimsy and an absolute nightmare to put together. The design requires tee nuts to be hammered into the bottom from which you can attach feet. However, since the wardrobe is made from chipboard, it doesn’t actually have the integrity to hold the tee nut in place. The dowel pieces that are meant to hold together various pieces are easy to snap, and the screws that are also used don’t give enough support to hold the frame steady. My frame also seemed to have a manufacturing issue where a hole wasn’t drilled deep enough. This means when I connected two pieces, the dowel was forced completely through one of the pieces of wood, breaking it. Ikea has issued me a replacement, but I’m not confident another frame will be any better.
Cheap and flimsyAnonymous reviewerHave just completely wasted one of the units I purchased as it was so flimsy, it fell apart while constructing and the screws ripped the chip board, so no way to resurrect. Also wasted a good couple of hours!
ProblemAnonymous reviewerBought from store but was faulty,had few replacements from hd team and both got damaged by hd team..not good at all.

Story
Unfold your PAX wardrobe
Sometimes it can actually be OK to eavesdrop. One of our most experienced innovators overheard some colleagues talking about how tricky it can be to assemble a PAX wardrobe. It immediately triggered his creativity. How do you make it easier and faster to assemble?
“It was above all one problem with our earlier version of the PAX frame,” says Benny Andersson, a long-time technician at IKEA. “Assembling it upright was way too complicated. But assembling it and then placing it upright demanded a ceiling height higher than the wardrobe, which not everyone has.”
Open it like a book
Quick assembly with the right instructions
With the new construction, Benny and the team managed to halve the assembly time for one PAX frame. But they were still not satisfied. “We are specialists within our field, and it was valuable to bring in colleagues with different backgrounds to help out with the assembly tests. It made it possible to improve the assembly instructions further and reduce the time even more.” So, what started with an eavesdropping Benny ended with a PAX frame that can be assembled both faster and simpler. “To succeed with a project like this, all team members have to challenge and motivate each other. Our mission is to work in headwinds, and just like on a football pitch, everyone contributes to the end result.”
Function solution
The difficult art of simplifying
We like it simple but are happy to take on difficult tasks. That’s how we made it easier to assemble PAX wardrobe. The foldable construction allows you to mount the frame directly where you want it to avoid having to move the assembled furniture – and you add the sliding doors step by step, without heavy lifting and without problems. The storage solution is also easy to disassemble and reassemble, so you can bring it when moving and benefit from your PAX even longer.
